AWCi is interested in a collective exploration of race, gender, and class, as they relate to art workers and art institutions, both past and present. For this purpose we welcome collaboration with other artists, writers, researches, educators and activists of color to join in this collective exploration. We would like to make our research material easily accessible and hope others will join and share their knowledge and experience.
